Main Article Content
Abstract
The pandemic of the new coronavirus, Sars-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, brought a moment never experienced before by the world's population. Millions of people were affected and, unfortunately, many deaths and related sequelae were reported. At the same time, modernity allowed the dissemination of news in excess due to new information and communication technologies. Sometimes misinformation took over the media. Political and economic interests unfortunately influenced the news. The UFMG Morning Bulletin, an extension action of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, began to be published, seeking to defend the dissemination of correct epidemiological data, news, scientific evidence, and the truth. The positioning of health professionals and scientists is important to combat fake news and to bring knowledge to the community in general. The disclosure was daily and continuous until December 2021, then it started to occur three times a week and from August 2022, once a week, expanding the topics to be addressed, with the main focus on infectious diseases, vaccination, and good information for the community in general.
